Xicão Joly who was a close friend to Dias stated, “We’ve heard it was an attempted assault, but right now no one knows the dettails”

Along with leaving a slew of fighters at the academy, Dias was also a family man according to Joly.
“All I can say is that all Chute Boxe people are shocked. He left two kids, hundreds of students and thousands of friends. Osmar was a great person, one of the most important instructors of the team and also the promoter of Torneio Estimulo, which was launching a new generation of Muay Thai and MMA.”

Chute Boxe’s official website stated Dias’ funeral is scheduled for tomorrow in Tamura, Brazil at 10am.
